Abstract
Chapter 6 discusses circuit examples for high-power RF amplifiers with a focus on increased impedance, thermal management, and high RF-power management between 0.5 and 100 GHz. Low-noise amplifiers are presented and analyzed for high-dynamic range, robustness, and high linearity. The last section of the chapter treats other circuits functions such as mixers and oscillators. Again, nitride-specific advantages and challenges are investigated.
